Chizzy wins the first match of the tournament 7-5. Thornton gave it away though, he missed countless doubles to win legs and let Chizzy nick it.

monkey9

Yeah Thornton should really have won that match. Had chances to break Chizzy twice and didn't take them.

A "noise-ometer"....

Current Record Holder - Dublin with 105dB.....

Oh my God!...My ears will be bleeding in the O2....

Johner

Great darts from Wright so far.

KevIRL

Sigh, unsurprisingly the boring boring tables chant has made it to the PL

Kingp35

No Kolo Yaya chant yet though.....

I enjoy watching Wright playing these days, he could do well in this tournament.

sc86

lets count how many times they show stephen bunting for the night
im on 5 and missed most of the chizzy game

Johner

Great start to the Premier League for Wright.

Kingp35

Really solid performance from Wright, especially since it's his debut. He is definitely the type of player that loves playing in front of a big crowd so this tournament could really suit him.

Very hard to predict a winner in the next one between Barney and Anderson, a draw could well be on the cards.

Johner

Anderson at 11/8 looks a decent bet to me. In good form after winning last week.

I must have chose to block it out

Johner

What a start by Barney. He is on form tonight!

Johner

Wow! Unreal stuff.

Johner

What a performance by Barney. Anderson didn't do much wrong but Barney with a 108 average.

Atlantic Dawn

Not liking the numbering on the new board, otherwise great darts tonight.

Same problem as last year, my predictions have been spot on but the players are all over the place...

Kingp35

What a performance from Barney, unstoppable.

Will be interesting to see how Taylor gets on with his new darts tonight, he couldn't have a tougher match to try them out in!

mackeire

i reckon taylor will walk this one


edit: maybe not

I actually like the numbering. I think it's for the 3D cameras.

grey_so_what

Tayor needed that dart....

Van Gerwen is really in the groove here, could be a walkover for MVG.

grey_so_what

I don't believe it!.....

A whitewash!

Scorpion Sting

Well how's about that!

statto25

Christ above. That was something....

grey_so_what

That game was over before it started!!!

sham69

Wow,
Might want to change back to the old darts Phil

sc86

no sign dartboard phil?

ricero

Taylor spanked !

monkey9

Outrageous stuff from Van Gerwen. You just have to love him!

Kingp35

No one could have predicted that! It's safe to say Phil's new darts didn't work out.

Unbelievable performance from MvG though, he simply blew him away. I never thought I would see the day that Taylor gets whitewashed.

Will I Amnt

Such a hammering. van Gerwen's performance somehow got lost in how that went. Didn't look like a 109 average game at all if that makes sense.

Deeper Blue

Probably the worst I've seen Taylor play.

Love it

grey_so_what

It seems like a long time ago since Lewis was Taylor's "apprentice"....

Two very anti-climatic final matches as Lewis cruises to a win against Whitlock

KevIRL

Taylor on his way back to the bdo then

gramar

Taylor never got going and in the last leg fell apart completely.
On 48 he went for 16 D16 and hit single 8. Not a disaster but his confidence
was shattered and couldn't hit a single! After that he he never going to get the double.

One other point. Is it my screen or was the camera on the bottom of the board at at a very odd angle that made it every difficult to see the darts thrown at 19's 17's etc?

And while I'm at it I'm not a big fan of the numbering either.

sc86

he was beat 6-2 by Keegan Brown in round one of the first UK Open qualifier today lol
bad few days for him

Johner

Going to have a nice little bet on Lewis at 11/8 to beat Taylor next week.

leggo

A bit late but...

The start of every Premier League Season, ever:

- Oooh, Taylor has new darts.
- Oooh, Taylor has lost weight.
- WHAT THE HELL?!? Taylor is in crisis!!!

He'll be 'better than ever' in a couple of weeks.

PTH2009

got tickets to my first premier league darts in the o2 on the 27th march

there up in the gods Block N row 38

hope i have a bit of fun anyway

grey_so_what

Barney had the head down there after the first couple of matches....

Drives me mad when he does that, it's like he loses interest in the match completely..

Kingp35

Barney just looked completely disinterested. Seems like his poor performances in the UK Open qualifiers have knocked his confidence.

grey_so_what

Both played mediocre there...a draw is about all it was worth..




Whitlock's head was nearly as low as Barney's.....Anderson won easy enough..

Kingp35

Taylor bottom of the league after two weeks. I really thought he was going to.win tonight after beating Lewis in the final last Sunday.

grey_so_what

Can't believe Taylor is in such bad form....

I still see him coming back though...

grey_so_what

I'd like to see Thornton get a draw....

Well, that ended on a damp squib for Thornton...

Rumour is he went back onto his old darts for the 2nd floor tournament last weekend
